The morning of guest arrival, easy to follow driving directions, parking spot assignment, door code, and other precise check in details will be provided.

We’re here if you need us—and invisible if you don’t. Our small team works hard behind the scenes to keep the property safe, clean, and beautiful. You may see us (or our sweet maintenance guy) around from time to time, especially during checkouts, yard work, or if a guest requests assistance. We also live on-site part-time in a private area and commute weekly to Oregon. Your privacy is always respected.

Human neighbors are friendly, but enjoy the privacy that country life ensures. The numerous animal neighbors are furry, or feathered, and some are approachable; but most are pretty shy. (domestic rabbits, barn cats, deer, frogs, birds, raccoon, bobcats, quail, squirrels, skunks, etc...)

Add-On Amenities & The Camper’s Closet:
Looking to level up your stay? We’ve got a few optional add-ons available to make your retreat experience even better!
✨ The Camper’s Closet is our cozy little on-site camp store—fully self-serve and available 24/7 through a QR code on the Closet door or via our weblink. You’ll find essentials and fun extras like:
S’mores kits 🍫
Fire starter kits 🔥
Trader Joe’s snacks 🥪
Grocery or flower delivery services 💐
…and more!
🧺 Laundry Room Access ($10 Add-On): Want to use our onsite laundry facilities during your stay? You can reserve it for 6 hours of exclusive use through the Camper’s Closet as well.
🧖‍♀️ Barrel Sauna ($20 Add-On): Whether you`re chasing post-hike relaxation or just a cozy moment of zen, this warm little haven is now available to book for private 2 hour sessions.
💡 How it works: These optional add-on services (or any other store purchases) require a separate purchase. You`ll receive more detailed information before your arrival. Once you place your order, you’ll get an email with instructions for pickup or reservation and your door code.
Just a heads-up: Airbnb`s new fee transparency policy means we’re including these add-on details here to keep things crystal clear. Specifically, the washer, dryer, and sauna are listed as available amenities for this listing but they are not included in your nightly rate.

There is no cell service in our canyon but enabling wifi-calling on your phone will provide a equivalent signal via our recently upgraded routers and service.

3rd Party Booking Policy:
My Tiny Creekside Retreat is a great option for crews, professionals traveling for work, and is a way safer, more secure, and affordable option than local hotels.
Hosting guests, however, who have not made the reservation itself carries additional risk and hosting challenges. As such, in our desire to support our local employers we have recently developed and released this 3rd Party Booking Policy.
If you are booking on behalf of someone else, please review and accept this policy by replying specifically with the phrase “Responsible Guests Welcome”:
1) Booking must be confirmed at least 2 hours in advance of arrival.
2) Payment of an additional $150 refundable cleaning deposit via an Airbnb resolution center request will be required prior to arrival.
3) A contact name and verifiable cell phone # must be provided for at least 1 of the guests who are staying. Contact will be made with them prior to their arrival to verify their ID and ensure they are aware of the expectations during their stay.
Thank you for the opportunity to support the hard-working traveling professionals that help our cities and towns grow and thrive.

Cedar Loo Toilet Details:
We want you to love your stay, and that means making sure you’re comfortable with our eco-friendly, flushless Cedar Loo style toilet. It’s simple to use and saves thousands of gallons of water each year. But let’s be real—if you’re expecting a traditional flush toilet, this might not be the right rental for you.

How it works? Sit, do your business, toss in a handful of cedar chips, and close the lid. Once a day (or as needed), simply lift out the bag, tie it shut, and place it in the designated outdoor bin. A fresh bag will be ready to go—no extra setup needed!

If the idea of this type toilet makes you uneasy, we totally understand! We’d rather you book a place that meets your expectations than be surprised upon arrival. As an alternative, please do inquire about the availability of our other accommodations onsite that do have flushing toilets.

Pet and Animal Policy:
Recently we have updated this listing and no longer allow pets in this accommodation. If you would like to bring yours, please inquire about our many other accommodations on site which do allow animals.
In the best interest of transparency, our pet policy is only noted here so all guests on site understand the expectations of visiting animals and their owners; including service animals:
1. Pets must stay leashed outside at all times.
2. No pets on furniture, beds, or lofts.
3. Pets cannot be left alone inside, even in crates.
4. Clean up accidents with supplies under the sink, waste w/ bags provided, and sweep the house daily to manage fur.
5. At Creekside Cottage, use the signed pup relief area instead of the front lawn.
6. Expect friendly barn cats and free-range bunnies outdoors—if your pet chases or reacts strongly, this may not be the best fit.
7. Disruptive pets (excessive barking, digging, etc.) may be asked to leave without refund.

I need a Vacation after this Vacation

Worst travel experience ever, the owners is completely dishonest and just plain cruel. Really my biggest problem to start with the stay was the bed sagged in the middle and after 3 nights I could not even walk.I had booked a week but just could not stay any longer and when I asked the property owner for a refund due to this, it all went down hill from there.She completely refused any refund stating bed preference is a very personal thing. I travel a lot and don't have any back problems, the bed was just horrible to sleep on.She never even asked if I was ok or showed any concern, instead she took my request as a war and decided to completely lie to keep my security deposit.the pictures look very peaceful but there are 6 tiny homes, a rented garage conversion and the owners property on a pretty tiny piece of land so there is no privacy. On top of this, the owner is always creeping around watching everything.In my texting with her, she quickly told me that all her family and friends love staying there and this is when I realized that the exceptional reviews are from people she knows renting it.

Tiny house adventure!

Staying in a tiny home wasn’t on the top of our bucket list, however it’s something you have to experience ! First time for us and our furry friends and it was fun. Not camping, not a hotel, not a fancy Bnb, but something in between. Our stay was mostly for business and the Wifi / Internet was good. The area is beautiful and rich. The address is a little village with several hobbit homes and wild bunnies! Lady of the manor , Michelle is a hoot as well. Gotta try it!!!!

Excellent, sweet and comfortable Tiny House

We really enjoyed our visit here. The property manager/owner was very accessible, helpful and answered all our questions. The manual is very helpful and outlines how to make this an enjoyable stay. Bed was super comfy, good shower with a warm strong spray. Lots of storage, hooks and places to out things. Cedar toilet never smelled and the cedar chips work well. We cooked a lovely breakfast on the propane stove and we learned to keep the door and windows open so we did not accidentally set off the smoke alarm. The area is very quiet and we saw a family of quail, chipmunks, robins and a squirrel during our stay. Our home was lit up at night so we could look at the night sky and relax. We enjoyed our stay.

Tiny yellow home in the woods

Our stay at My Tiny Perch was awesome. The home may not be for everyone, but for us it fit the bill. A separate house of 148 sq. ft. was more relaxing than saying in a motel. Experiencing a cedar shaving toilet was a first, but think of the water we saved! We plan to return in the future and experience other units in the tiny village. The forested Sherwood location allowed to visit and travel all around the southern Portland area.

Peaceful Hamlet

My Tiny Perch was the perfect clean, serene and picturesque get away while visiting my daughter in Portland. The short drive out of town gave me a taste of the foothills and forests of Oregon while helping her set up her apartment for the school year. The tiny house is clean and calm and a true delight. If you have any concerns about traveling during Covid, My Tiny House Village is the perfect spot with your own space and lots of open air. Michelle is the kindest host. I am refreshed and will be back.

Tiny home, but a big place in my heart

This was a wonderful stay in a lovely location among trees, nature, and peacefulness. Michelle, the hostess, was also the most attentive and helpful. There were many things to do within short distances (including wineries, breweries, nature hikes, artisan coffee shops, tea rooms), and almost not enough to experience them all. Portland is also only a close 20mi away. The tiny home itself was quite a nice experience, nestled near trees and agriculture. The are not too many neighbors and very quiet, so it's a really great place to relax. The tiny home makes it more cozy, and it has the essentials you need to be comfortable. I would be happy to stay again!

Comfortable and cute

Michelle's tiny home is indeed small, but darling. The colorful curtains and furnishings are very cute. The dry flush toilet sounded intimidating at first, but was actually very easy to use with the detailed (and funny) instructions. The bed is a little awkward to get in and out of given it's position at the end of the tiny house, but still quite comfortable. Cute spot!

Charming Tiny House

My husband and I had the lovely pleasure of staying in this "Tiny Perch" for one night. This was our first experience staying in a tiny house and it was wonderful. MJ was a great host, she maintained great communication leading up to our stay. Her "Tiny Perch" was wonderfully decorated, bed was super comfy and it was well stocked with essentials. Nothing went unnoticed, we appreciated the snacks and drinks that were placed for us upon arrival. If we are ever in the area again (weekend getaway from Texas) we will most definitely stay here again! Stephanie & John Hill

It might be small in size, but has great functionality. We spent 10 days there and loved it!

If you've never experienced a tiny house, this should be the one. It is so well built and designed. You will be amazed at all the amenities tucked away in this small space. You can cook a full meal, play games, watch movies, read a book from the in-house library, and sleep comfortably. MJ is the perfect hostess, and even has some surprises tucked away for you to discover. The setting in the woods is so quiet. We did enjoy the deer and variety of birds. However, it is also conveniently located between two towns with lots of restaurants, shopping, and wineries. Staying in this tiny house checked off a great new experience from our "bucket list"!
